Mia Ng graduated completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (painting) at the National Art School, Sydney in 2003. As a young, emerging urban artist, Mia aims to broaden her experience of the Australian landscape and to draw on Hill End's gold mining and artistic history. A curiosity about the spirit and charm of the village also attracts Mia, as she is interested in capturing the visual poetry of the terrain.

Her Hill End residency will give Mia the time and space to concentrate on her explorations of the Australian landscape and to document and experiment with various possibilities in painting.
